Which is almost certainly why he will not come to Superleague. Not yet anyway, not IMO.
He's virtually guaranteed State of Origin and Kangaroo reps (fitness and form considered). So why would he pack it all in and come to Wigan. IL has already stated that the days of ridiculous contracts have gone and there is going to be a more level and structured salary system regarding players.

Don't get me wrong, I would absolutely love to see him in Cherry and White, I just don't think it's very likely.

I hope it's not true, Lockyer was possibly the best player in the world for quite a while, I just think he's getting on a bit too much now and is getting more injury prone. If we are intent on signing a superstar, surely we should be looking at someone of about 26 or so years of age. IMO.

Agreed.

So were are looking for a "superstar stand off, around the 26 years age group, few injury problems (if any), available for next season and willing to join Wigan on the wages available". Shouldn't be much of a problem!

You've missed my point BM. I was trying to say that if we are intent on letting Barrett go a season early, and replacing him with another player of equal calibre, then surely we should be looking at someone who is younger than Barrett and Lockyer.
I agree that the chances of getting a world class Aussie stand off who is only around 26 years of age is extremely remote.
Who would you suggest? You seem to have an answer for most other things.
